On the tree, the crotch figure is located where the trunk or larger branch separates into additional branches. Mountain laurels that are exposed to bright winter sunlight and harsh winds often develop winter burn on their foliage. Their leaves dry out, turn brown, and will eventually drop. Minimize this danger by siting shrubs carefully when planting them. Spray foliage with anti-transpirant just before cold weather sets in and shield exposed shrubs with a burlap windscreen.

They suck sap from the undersides of mountain laurel leaves, causing them to turn pale or mottled. This sucking insect appears in late June and in the summer on the undersides of the leaves of broadleaf evergreens like azalea, rhododendron and mountain laurel.

Control light infestations by crushing the bugs. Pinch the leaves on which they are feeding between your thumb and forefinger. Treat heavier infestations by spraying the bugs on leaf undersides with insecticide.

They over winter as partly grown larvae in burrows in mountain laurel stems. Adults emerge in June, and lay eggs on leaves, new twigs, or rough bark of the main stem. They sometimes girdle branches when laying their eggs, causing tips to die back and break off. They enter into the tips of stems and bore out some of the twigs soon after blooming time. As they get larger, these larvae bore into the woody part of the laurel shrub, pushing out fine sawdust as they go. When its main stems are bored, ugly scars remain and sometimes-large branches die.

To control borers examine the mountain laurel before the spring season arrives and cut and burn any dying stems below visible borer holes. In June, crush any eggs that you can find. During the summer season, check to see if fine boring dust is being pushed from small borer holes. Cut out these holes with a sharp knife.

If the tunnels are fairly straight, probe in them with a flexible wire to kill the worm inside, or pull it out by means of a hooked wire to make certain it is destroyed. Borers can also be killed with nicotine sulfate. Dip a piece of cotton or soft cloth into a solution 1 part nicotine sulfate to 4 parts water, and stuff it into the borer's hole or try injecting nicotine paste into the holes.

Another approach is to introduce BT Bacillus thuringiensis into each hole at ten-day intervals until no more telltale sawdust appears. A special hypodermic needle for injecting BT is commercially available.

Coat or seal wounds with tree paint, putty, paraffin, or chewing gum. A black light trap may prove effective against the adult borers, if used in May or June when the insect is in the moth stage.
